The double-shake method is key to this cocktail’s texture. The first round is to break up the egg white; the second is to chill and froth the drink.
Ingredients
Serves 4
Step 1
Chill 4 coupe glasses in freezer. Bring sugar and ½ cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover and chill simple syrup until cold, at least 1 hour.
Step 2
For each cocktail, combine 1 egg white, 2 oz. rye whiskey, 1 oz. lemon juice, and ¾ oz. simple syrup into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously (without ice) until mixture is starting to get frothy. Fill shaker with ice and shake vigorously until outside of shaker is frosty and cocktail is frothy, about 20 seconds (yes, a full 20 seconds).
Step 3
Rinse a chilled coupe glass with Pernod; discard. Strain cocktail through a fine-mesh sieve into glass.
Raw egg is not recommended for the elderly, pregnant women, children under four, and people with weakened immune systems.

Back to TopThese were a big hit, and a great way to welcome guests to San Diego! I shook two drinks at a time. Don't skip the Pernod.
